I remember getting this as a christmas present in my childhood. But to my dismay our family was going on a christmas cruise that year, and I didn't get to play this before we left. So I spent much of the cruise with the manuals browsing through mech weaponry and stats, while anxiously waiting for the cruise to be over. Luckly the wait was worth it, and I kept playing the ending's training scenarios long after the main story had finished.

Played this on a 8086 EGA PC clone back in the day. Loved the order based strategy system - desperately trying to capture rather then destroy mechs just to make the later levels easier. The modern game is good but doesn't recreate the magic.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
